Is It Really Possible That Your Anti Aging Products Are Damaging Your Health?
Ralph Nader has said that “Over the last 100 years, the rate of cancer in the U.S. has sky-rocketed from 1 out of 800 people diagnosed, to 1 out of 3 today. Are you Wondering why?” Is it possible the reason is that so many ingredients found in anti aging skin care products, cosmetics and other personal products could be dangerous?
There’s no doubt that many of the ingredients found in so many personal products including skin care products that we use on our skin today are suspect or dangerous. This isn’t confined to the skin care or personal products industries, it is true of so many of the products that we use today including many we eat.
Here’s a quick example of an ingredient that you may find in many personal products that you would be well advised to avoid. Mineral oil.
Mineral oil is a petrochemical product which means that it comes from distilling crude oil. If you buy baby oil you’re getting a bottle of mineral oil.
Mineral oil is found in a wide range of anti aging products and skin care products and it is added to those products as a moisturizer. The reality is that mineral oil has absolutely no moisturizing properties of it’s own. Rather the intention is that mineral oil in anti aging products will cover the face with a thin film of oil on the skin that will help minimize moisture lost from the skin. And to some extent this is successful.
You may have heard of Material Safety Data Sheets. These list all information that someone using a particular chemical ought to know, including safety information. If you read a Material Safety Data Sheet about mineral oil it will say that “mineral oils are suspected carcinogens of the skin and scrotum, larynx, lung and alimentary tracts”. And you will also find that it says that mineral oil may “cause eye, skin and respiratory tract irritation”. On top of this will also say that “pre-existing skin disorders may be aggravated by exposure” to mineral oil.
In other words mineral oil can cause cancer of various parts of your body including your skin, it irritates your skin and makes skin conditions worse.
That’s only one of many different ingredients that you’ll see listed on the label of anti aging skin care products that may be dangerous. Look on the label of products you might have used this morning. How is it possible that products like these contain potentially dangerous ingredients?
The FDA has no mandate to test either the efficacy or the safety of anti aging products on the market. You’re probably aware that big business has very little concern for the welfare of its customers, the cigarette companies are a good example of that. If they can get away with it they will.
Many of these dangerous ingredients are found in our personal products like our skin care products because they’re cheap. The cheaper the ingredients the more profit that is made on the sale of the product. It’s well known that there are excellent ingredients that work extremely well to promote skin health but most of these are not used because they are expensive.
But there are some very clever people running some small skin care companies that know that it is possible to make high quality anti aging skin products that are very effective. They can’t compete on TV advertising but they can compete on product quality but the chances are you’ll never find out who they are because they don’t advertise.
Through my website I try and inform readers about the risks of so many ingredients in anti aging products and the point them towards these small niche companies.
